Wow, this actually makes sence. Its true that eventually people will try to find that 'someone special' an all just so that they can have someone with them, so that the really won't be alone. I like how you portrayed (sp?) Kei and his feelings. I especially liked the last lines "Perhaps they’ll grow to love each other or at the very least be content with one another. Kei wouldn’t allow himself to consider that should she return home, he would once again find himself alone in a world moving too fast for him." What with his standstills this makes sence.
